Information About: Communication & Mass Media Complete

Description: Communication & Mass Media Complete™ (CMMC) incorporates the content of two popular databases in the fields of communication and mass media studies -- CommSearch (formerly produced by the National Communication Association) and Mass Media Articles Index (formerly produced by Penn State) along with numerous other journals in communication, mass media, and other closely-related fields of study to create a research and reference resource encompassing the breadth of the communication discipline.
CMMC content includes cover-to-cover ("core") indexing and abstracts for more than 500 journals, and selected ("priority") coverage of nearly 200 more. The database includes full text for over 380 journals. Many major journals have indexing, abstracts, PDFs and searchable cited references from their first issues to the present (dating as far back as 1915). CMMC contains a sophisticated Communication Thesaurus and comprehensive reference browsing (i.e. searchable cited references for peer-reviewed journals covered as "core").
CMMC also includes author profiles and searchable cited references.
